Bullshit. Pure bullshit. An exploit is not a virus. There are Trojans that can affect a Mac IF the user deliberately installs them, by being a fool who is suckered by obvious social engineering. But there are ZERO self-installing, self-replicating viruses that can infect Mac OS X. And your mention of pwntoown is proof that you don't know what you are talking about.
Do you own any Apple products? I'm betting the answer is no. Why? Because the true reason that the products you so dismissively refer to as "iShiny" are so popular is that they WORK BETTER. But you don't realize this, do you? And for some reason, you can't even admit that it is possible.
Not just Miami, you know. Try all of the largest cities in the entire world. New York, LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore, Mumbai, Cairo, London, etc., etc. Where will they all go? Denver and Mexico City are gonna get very crowded. Here's a thought: What will they all eat? We are headed for a climate different from any that has existed since the evolution of humans. Many former grain producing areas will become deserts. And you can't grow wheat in a muskeg swamp.
Recording of signal quality, etc., is done by Apple on an opt-in basis. It is off by default. Apple's refusal to allow carriers to add whatever "enhancements" they wanted is the main reason it took so long for carriers other than AT&T to get the iPhone.
I tend to limit my reading to rational theories that are actually supported by evidence. One failure of your account that I didn't previously point out is your assertion that groups of people were "trapped" and isolated by glaciers during ice ages. The evidence indicates exactly the opposite. Because so much water was sequestered in glaciers, sea levels were much lower during ice ages. This allowed people to walk on dry land from Siberia to Alaska, from France to Britain and Ireland, and from southeast Asia to Australia. And the archeological evidence proves that they did exactly that.
This sounds like one of the crackpot theories that the Nazis believed in. Glaciation is FAR from global in scope during all the ice ages since the extinction of the dinosaurs. Extensive areas of land remain unaffected. The were no "mystery civilizations" whose existence was erased by glaciation. And your whole theory of racial distinctions arising and then disappearing is totally unsupported by DNA analysis.
Dang, that stuff looks like fun! How come we didn't have any in our high school chem lab? BTW, ir is an extremely bad idea to put a high school chemistry lab under the "control" of a guy who is in his first real-life teaching job after graduating from college. We had no fear of him and zero respect for his authority, and in retrospect I am amazed that we didn't destroy the school, or at least cause a few dozen deaths.
The comedy in the ass-kissing episode of the Miller's Tale does NOT arise from a character's willingness to debase himself. He has no clue that he going to kiss an anus. The scene takes place in the middle of the night, in total darkness. The butt of the joke THINKS he is going to kiss his crush on her lips, but she hangs her butt cheeks out the window for kissing instead. He only becomes suspicious when he feels her pubic hair, which he mistakes for a beard.
You seem a bit delusional. The *facts* show that Android user do NOT spend money on apps, accessories, and so forth, to anywhere near the level of iOS users. Some may spend more on their devices, but some also take advantage of "free with contract:" or BOGO deals. Apple is the overwhelming leader in profits from the mobile sector. And Facetime is "just" Skype with no fees or bugs or outages. And Siri has already evoked amazement in several Android users who have seen me using it. Oh, and why do my factual comments cause you to label me a troll? Can't handle the truth, hmmm?
Just look at all the historical examples. One of the best times to be a European peasant before the Industrial Revolution was right after the Black Death. Lots of vacant land, lots of demand for labor, etc.
Sorry, but the *facts* prove you wrong. Apple iDevice owners spend substantially more on data plans, bandwidth, and apps than Android's "wealthy" nerds. And I would love to see how many of those friends who got HTC phones on your say-so, end up cursing you because they can't get Siri or Facetime on their phones.
The fact that human activity is the source of most of the CO2 increase has been documented. CO2 outputs can and have been measured, and there is no doubt that human activity is the cause of the increase. That *you* can doubt this shows that you are being influenced by the denialists. We are rapidly approaching the point where we will be unable to prevent global temperatures from rising higher than they have ever been during the existence of humans. Do you really think it likely that we will do *better* in an environment that we did not evolve to live in?
Hire some speed freaks, pay them for each reconstructed page with a hit of quality crystal meth, rinse and repeat. $50k at wholesale rates could buy a crapload of meth. Or you could use the money to set up your own meth lab.
Let's see, you think the upgrade "wasn't necessary" because your wife doesn't use email? Brilliant! I'm sure that most folks don't want or need email on their phones. [/sarcasm] Watching fandroids trying to make a positive out of the fragmentation morass is the funniest thing I've seen in decades!
PS - Gotta give you creativity bonus points for your ability to misspell common 3-letter words.
Anybody who has lived near an apple orchard knows all about drunken birds. Apples fall to the ground, ferment as they start to rot, and get eaten by the local bird population. Bears get drunk on rotting fruit, too. You do not want to encounter a drunken bear!
Chinese hackers mainly mess with sites that criticize China, or try to steal IP. The real *criminal* hackers who steal lots of money and valuables are found in Russia, Belarus, the Ukraine...
I believe it was in the early 1990's. I bought a copy of Madonna's "Sex" (remember that?) from Borders, because B & N was all sold out. I sold it a year or two later, for more than I originally paid. There. Now my deep, dark secret Borders buying history is public knowledge.
And just why should it be the media's job to make "fast, accurate assessments"? Even the first responders are hard put to do so. In any emergency situation, there is bound to be confusion. And reporters do try to point this out to readers/viewers. Ever notice phrases like "first reports indicate... "? By all means criticize journalism that is sloppy, slanted, etc. But being picky over the death count at a fresh disaster is not a valid criticism.
Wrong. Increased solar output has been eliminated as a possible cause. Do the reading at the sources, instead of from "commentators" who distort or completely misrepresent it. Right now, the *only* "controversy" in the field of climate science is whether things will get very, very bad, or catastrophic. And how soon.
Climate science is not advanced calculus. The theoretical basis for predictions of human-caused climate change is comprehensible to a smart 5th Grader. Go to RealClimate.org and do some reading. You will find out exactly what the truth is. In detail.

Oh yes, please. Can we?

According to a hands-on review I read, running the new "RAZR" on an LTE network gives you about 2 and a half hours of battery life.
Enjoy.

Plus you can rid yourself forever of any site that mentions Justin Bieber or Lindsay Lohan. This one single act has been shown to increase IQ by 20%.

Your memory is extremely faulty. There has been NO controversy over CO2 as a greenhouse gas for at least 50 years now.

The pilot was not visible in the cockpit in photos I've seen during the final seconds of the flight. Why?
Leaning back at a sharp angle while hauling on the joystick with all his strength?
